Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many members of the armed forces serving in England who are considered not medically deployable are awaiting treatment; and how many have been waiting for longer than six months.

As of 8 November 2025, there were 2,375 UK Armed Forces personnel graded as Medically Not Deployable (MND), awaiting an NHS or private healthcare appointment following a referral from a Defence Medical Centre in England. Of these, 930 have been waiting longer than six months.

Information on the number of UK Armed Forces personnel graded as MND awaiting an NHS or private healthcare appointment following a referral from a Defence Medical Centre in Wales or Northern Ireland is not held centrally.
